Weekly Thoughts (or Weak Thoughts)

 

Just a few random thoughts bouncing around in my head this week.

We have a crisis on the border! What a shocker! Don’t know if there is anyone dumb enough (even among the Liberals) to not recognize this as a direct result of the Biden administration. Of course, the caravans are back. Once again, we have signaled that the borders are open. And we have all but promised full amnesty and citizenship. Sad, but true.

Came across this quote recently from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (one of the most banned books of all time incidentally).

“Hain’t we got all the fools in town on our side? And hain’t that a big enough majority in any town?”

For some reason, it made me think of the Democratic Party. Maybe they should adopt it as their new motto.

$1.9 Trillion. I can’t even comprehend a number that large. I can comprehend that $1400 is a tiny, tiny fraction of that amount. We’re back to the usual politics again where a “COVID” Relief Bill contains just a small amount of money to help with the pandemic and tons of money for tons of things with no connection whatsoever to the stated purpose of the bill. But go ahead and spend an extra trillion or so on those pork projects you’ve been dreaming about. Those Obama Democrats still know to “never let a crisis go to waste.”

And this week’s Colin Kaepernick Oppression Award goes to Meghan Markle for reminding us that even Princesses need our sympathy. And good job, Harry, for showing us how easy it is to throw your entire (Royal) family under the bus.

It’s only fair, I suppose. Why limit the Media-induced race war to just our country? Let’s share with Great Britain and the rest of Europe. I wonder if all those white people over there know what terrible racists they are? Maybe we can help them learn to be less white as well. Send them some Cokes or something.

Admittedly, I am a diehard Dallas Cowboy Hater, but seriously, does anyone really believe Dak Prescott is worth $40 million a year? He’s a fine quarterback, but no one could honestly build a case that he deserves to be the second highest paid at the position.

And speaking of QBs, as a Houston Texans fan (or at least I was until they decided to tear down the entire franchise with stupid decisions), I love Deshaun Watson. BUT isn’t it time for players to just shut up and play and stop trying to tell the owners and GMs how to do their jobs? And demanding to be traded when they don’t get their way?

I guess it could be worse. If Bill O’Brien were still the Coach/GM, I suppose we would be trading Watson for a couple of second rounders and some magic beans.

So, Barack Obama spent 8 years blaming the economy on George W. Bush, and another 4 years trying to get credit for the Trump economy (by claiming his policies had finally kicked in). Now, Joe Biden is working as hard as he can to take credit for the COVID vaccine. And people wonder why nobody trusts politicians.

Amazed to see top Democrats actually calling on Andrew Cuomo to resign! Truly rare to see them hold each other accountable. Meanwhile, Dr. Seuss is cancelled, but WAP is appropriate for prime time TV. Wow!

What do I have to do to get a decent internet signal in Livingston, Texas, USA?
